Ralph said...: The sky is a beautiful blue. It is fitting that this is a house of worship - the cross and nearby spire are reaching up to heaven. The buildings nearby may be taller, but the little church just seem so alive under the canopy of blue upstairs. So nice!; December 18, 2009 at 6:18 PM

GardenOfDaisies said...: I love taking pictures of churches, and just church architecture in general , just like you Gena. When we were visiting college campuses, trying to decide where the kids would go to school, the first place I wanted to see on campus was the chapel. I know I get this from my childhood, when we would visit the old colonial towns and visit the magnificent churches on the highest hilltop... amazing doors and arched ceilings... the villagers would put everything they had into those buildings, and they were amazing!!; December 19, 2009 at 7:23 AM
